Like my basketball.4. My birthday is October 8th.5. I'm seriously smart and EVIL.6. People are always shocked to learn that I'm full grown; they say I look like a puppy!7. I'm a bed hog.

Here's my entry picture for the Equestrian event!Dachshund Mommy: Nola is seriously the biggest camera ham ever. She lapped this shoot up

An update on the new puppy! She's now two weeks old and her eyes are starting to open! She was checked out by a vet (not shots) and is 100% healthy! Our top names are Honolulu (Lulu for short), Brooklyn (not a huge fan of this one) and Phoenix. Mom loves Phoenix because the name means rebirth. Like Charlotte will continue to live on in this new puppy.

The baby!

And finally, the new addition! It's.....A.....PIG!!!! Yup, that's right a PIG! I'm actually quite happy about this addition, because I love bacon. The pig is a girl and her name is PigPig (creative right) and she's 8 weeks old and about 35lbs. And before anyone asks, yes she is for eating. BOL I think the peeps are starting to see things my way. So now our head count is:
The peeps
ME
2 soon to be 3 other Doxies
2 cats
1 cockatiel
14 chickens
2 ducks (Boston killed one, bad girl!)
1 pig.

Life as a crazy, fun loving Doxie indeed...
Kisses and Tail Wags,
Dachshund Nola
Pee.S. I go to the vet either tomorrow or Thursday, depending on how busy they are and how Mom's feeling.

No matter how often we clean that pool, it's aways dirty! The joy of ducks

Congratulations on your award and thanks for passing it on to us! Good luck on your Equestrian entry it's a great picture of you. Now your new baby sister is looking so adorable, I bet you can't wait to get her! I love the meaning of the name Phoenix. Your new addition PigPig is really kind of cute! You've got quite the little hobby farm building up there. :)

Congratulations on your award Nola.Your little sister is soooo sweet is it too late to suggest Whitby for a name?BOL to your equestrian photo, hilarious!Awww that little piggie is such a cutie too.Dip Bridge and Elliot x

Puppy is GROWING . OMD OMD... I can NOT believe that you are EVIL... Smart,YES... evil no way..

HOLY Gwalk A Moley girrrrrl you are REALLY quite the Athlete. I am so glad that you are gettin in so many events... LOVE the equestrian pic. shiloh and shasta are really needin athletes fur SYNCHRONIZED PEEING and fur the Synchronized Peeing Wanna Be's... which is fur those that lack a Pee Pawtner.

Aw, thank you sooo much for the award, Nola! I will post about it this week! I am sending you air licks now....I just love all your fur-friends! Gosh, I don't know how your Mom does it ~ my Ma, she has a hard enough time jus takin' care of me and the bird!! Don't tell the piggy, but he DOES loook delish!hehe

I didn't know about the puppy! That's wonderful. I know that it's tinged with sadness also because you miss Charlotte. But, I think that there's no better way to heal your hearts than to watch your puppy grow. That photo made my day.

So much happening! Your new sissie is adorable! Not sure I would want to snuggle up with a pig but she is cute in her own way. Congrats on the award; we love awards where we get to learn something new about the recipients!

Chester and Gretel like toys bigger than them too. Their favorite chew bones are at least twice the size of their head! They tolerate their nails being clipped though. They know I will win in the end so I think they just give up. They do get tons of treats before and after so that helps too :)

I like the idea behind the name Phoenix but LuLu is so cute :) In the end though, I like to go for names with some kind of meaning to me. Ironically, Chester and Gretel's names are generic because that is what they came with. My next weiner dog will named Summit! Ha. Fitting, no?

Nola....Congrats on earning your award!!Yeah, my Rose only tolerates having her claws clipped!! What is it with dogs and this aversion against people cutting their nails? ;)Awww.... Phoenix is a sweet name choice.... ;->Ooooh, I love pigs!! I always have!! No idea why.... ;opLove, Raelyn.... And Rose, my BEAUTIFULLY UNIQUE "Mystery
